1959
I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU * THE FLAMINGOS * END 1046 * USA
I can't say for certain just what it is I think of when I refer in my mind to an idea of New York (at night) in the 1950s, but what ever the mental 'picture' is this song always evokes it, without my help. Written by Al Warren and Harry Dubin and originally recorded by Eddy Duchin in 1934, released in April 1959 the song became an international hit, though only reaching number eleven in the US Pop charts, it rocketed straight to the number one spot R&B.
